Who Wins
- Pre-6: You win trades with W bounces and Q threat, but LeBlanc's W dash makes positioning crucial.
- Post-6: LeBlanc's R-W combo can instantly delete Kalista through your healing, making this much harder.
Synergy & Trading
- Use W on Kalista when she's trading to bounce heal/damage, then look for Q when enemies are locked in animation or clumped.
- Your E on Kalista's autos provides consistent slow application for extended trades.
Wave Control/Roaming
- You should roam frequently since this lane becomes dangerous post-6 and your utility scales better than laning.
- Look for roams when Kalista has wave control or after successful recalls around levels 4-6.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't stand in W range of LeBlanc or you'll get chunked by Q-W combos repeatedly.
- Avoid using Q predictively against her W since she can return to dodge it easily.
